A Perfect Day in the English Countryside.
The sun was almost out, the car was tres luxurious and the music was G & S.
Norabone was driven by Mile End Millie & Co to the 1066 zone. As the journey unfolded the weather cleared and we arrived in Hastings late morning. Two fascinating museums, the Shipwreck Heritage Centre and the Fishermen's Museum were well worth a visit.
Lunch was the perfect seaside meal (this link doesn't do justice to the real thing), followed by a short, sharp journey via the Hastings cliff railway.
Then a short drive to Winchelsea to visit a rather famous grave. From Winchelsea we drove to Rye and strolled up the picturesque Mermaid Street. Saw Lamb House where Henry James spent much of his writing life and the church at the top of the town where a tower afforded the most amazing views of the coastline and English Channel.
To end a perfect day afternoon tea. It doesn't get much better than that! Thanks to Millie & Co for the best day out...
